Kozz, It's almost a different app, it's more like a general purpose step sequencer now due to all the possibilities on the ipad. The big screen of the ipad enables editing/creating of patterns in an easier fashion. You are now presented with a timeline interface and can drag beats on to the timeline with your fingers, like a step sequencer with a cool interface. The sound quality is improved, I'm using a different method for generating the sounds, which I can use in iOS 4 to play in the background, it's also more timing accurate, not that there was an issue with the accuracy of the iphone app, but I'm now down to sample accuracy, meaning 22 nano second accuracy, it was about 1 mili-second accuracy before. The sound volume is louder, not just because the ipad has a bigger speaker, I managed to squeeze more using the new sound generation method. I have a new version of it which was submitted to Apple yesterday, meaning it should go live in about a week. The new version has more accurate BPM control, which was an issue with the iphone version, the slider UI element isn't good for this, I designed a roller wheel for this. The number of samples has increased, there are now over 250 percussion samples. You can also export to an audio file (e.g. WAV), you can hear here two files that were created on the app, the 2nd one is actually a buleria created by at_leo_87 (Anthony) on the iphone app, but exported to mp3 using the ipad app. I will try to post a video at some point... I'm working now on rolling in some of the improvements in the ipad app to the iphone app, namely the better tempo control and louder volume.

alright! i look forward for the new tempo control. the volume was never an issue for me. i mean, who bothers using the built in speakers to listen to anything on their ipod? Yes, even with the new volume you would still need external speakers. The iphone/ipod speaker just isn't loud enough to overcome the guitar. Even with the ipad you need external speakers, and the ipad speaker is way louder than the iphone, but still not enough. Heck, my mac speakers aren't loud enough and I need to use external speakers with it as well. quote:
the timing is spot on as it is. so if you can improve it, that's amazing. It's currently accurate to within 1 milisecond, which means you can't spot any inaccuracy, it's too small for our senses. The new method more than it is more accurate, it's more robust. So it continues to be accurate even if you receive a phone call, skype call, or web browse while playing, something that can be done now with iOS 4...
